Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate and Hawaii Theme Week.
Today's 72% Dark Chocolate with Hana Grown Coffee (bar) was distributed by Hana Gold Farm (Hana Highway, Maui, HI).
Aroma notes included: dark chocolate (faint earth, hops); coffee; and very faint black olive.
Texture: soft, very briefly slightly gummy, then pleasantly creamy once melted.
Flavor notes included: slightly earthy dark chocolate and coffee (crunchy bits of coffee bean).
The moderately complex flavors were a bit bold and earthy, but also well balanced. I liked the slightly darker/bolder (yet also smooth) flavors in this three-ingredient bar, as well as the creamy texture that developed over the first few seconds and continued into the finish.
Ingredients: Hana Gold cacao, organic cane sugar, Hana grown coffee.
Allergen-related information: "Made in a facility that also processes nuts, dairy, soy."
